You can ask, and most Buffalonians including the ones making Harbor development decisions, could not tell you what Buffalo was most noted and respected for around the world. They talk about the Erie Canal, but that was only the beginning. The Grain Industry and the Elevators which were invented here, along with industry of every sort, made Buffalo the biggest and the best in almost every category you could mention. For those wishing to know more of the true history of Buffalo&#39;s Harbor and the elevators, I invite you to take the Historic Buffalo River Tour in it&#39;s 28 year.

In a list of harbors throughout the lakes, not one mention of Buffalo. It&#39;s hard to that our history as a maritime city has been so quickly, and completely lost.Johnny Frugalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06476265530672903859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035576220169986933.post-30435555685132259182013-03-23T20:03:03.762-04:002013-03-23T20:03:03.762-04:00Thank you for a wonderful series!
